Susan acts on behalf of patients and vulnerable adults helping them to obtain health and community care support from the NHS, local authorities and social services. Susan is regularly instructed by the Official Solicitor and families involved in High Court, Court of Protection and Mental Capacity Act and Human Rights Act cases. She specialises in complex medical treatment and adult welfare cases, drawing on her experience gained whilst working for the Official Solicitor.
Andrew Fearn, Head of Private Law at Langleys comments:“Sue’s appointment allows the firm to operate in a particularly niche and specialised area of the law. There are just a small handful of solicitors acting on behalf of the Official Solicitor in health and welfare cases outside London and we are delighted that Langleys is now one of them.”
The Official Solicitor is a litigation friend of last resort and usually becomes formally involved when appointed by the Court. He may act as his own solicitor, or instruct a private firm of solicitors to act for him.
